Unique as never before

Sometimes when I’m sitting here at my work station, I wonder if what I am doing is really worth it. I spend hours upon hours designing, making changes and then when I think I’m happy with the finished product, more changes are made. There are times when I wander to check mail or just to browse, resting on a spot or two in envy when I read how luck shines on someone and they have an opportunity to make it big.

I would like to be successful in my work but I get discouraged and I feel as if all of this is such a waste of time. It’s been about two years since I’ve filed for my copyright and received the document in the mail last year. I was so excited to see it and was encouraged to continue on. As time rolled on, disappointment settled in once again. This is not unusual I’m sure….to be on this roller coaster ride because success does not come without up and downs.

Will I be as successful as I dream to be? Will all of my hard work pay off in the end? If I stay the course, only time will tell. Besides, in the end who has the right to say if success has truly laid a path for me….even if my name is not in the lights?

Is it really worth it?…..you betcha!

Regeneration

Some times in life, regeneration is a must. It is impossible to stay on an upswing no matter how energetic we are, no matter how much positive thinking/books we read. It doesn’t matter if we feel as if nothing can go wrong when everything continues to go right.

There is only 1 source of continual energy….and He has given us built in switches to let us know when we need regeneration….no matter how much energy we thing can muster up.

Just a thought.

As I Tweeted Earlier

Some of you already know that I replaced the oxygen sensor on my van earlier today. At first I didn’t think I would get the old one out. A piece of cake is what I thought, especially since the van was driven which would heat the part enough….so I thought. Even with vise grips it would not budge. I almost gave up because I didn’t want to damage the old sensor in case I couldn’t get it out. So I go old school and apply heat directly to the connection with a propane tank….put the grips back on it, gave it a twist, and bingo! I just started thanking God right away because He gave me all that I needed to get it loose….patience and time to think it through without getting flustered. Image

After the new one was in place, I didn’t wait to start it up…I wanted to see if it was going to be any different during starting and idling. So I fire it up and it didn’t start right away, but it didn’t drag either. I could tell right away….seconds after it was running, that it had made a difference. It idled quietly, but when I placed it into drive it was rough, as if nothing had changed.

So I take it out for a spin. Once I hit the road and accelerate, it had more power. It didn’t drag during acceleration and I was really happy about that. I decide to take it on the interstate and on the entrance ramp it had more get up and go. I was able to change lanes faster. Now I’ll have to be careful not to drive it like a race car or I won’t be saving any fuel still. We’ll see what happens this week.

Oh yeah…I also bought a grease gun and lubed the front end today…that made a big difference too.

Yeah…some of you know about that too.

Behind the Scene

Although things may seem to be quiet, I am busy getting odds and ends together. New ideas sprouting here and there and lots of learning to boot.

Making adjustments in ones life has rewards that go unnoticed.

Transformation Ahead

I have transferred my WhatrUWorkinOn.com domain to WordPress and along with that comes changes. I will be launching useful services from this site that will be available locally and web wide.

The transformation of the site will be gradual as will the services I will have available.

Stay tuned for all the details.

it has me too

if i wander too far

will i find my way back?

what awaits around  the bend

will i be afraid to venture?

or excited to see


the obstructions that tend to slow me down

how will i find the proper way to handle

will it come easy

or do i search endlessly


the rules of the game are

there are no rules

doesn’t seem fair

life has the advantage


that means i have to work harder

work through the obstructions

it’s ok to be afraid

just make sure i move forward


i will search and i will find 

life has the advantage 

and it has me too

 

 

 

Who I am remains to be told

And as time goes, all will unfold

For all to see what I am about

I’m lean for my age, and pretty stout


I believe in God, as my creator

And thank Him often I’ll tell you later

For now I will say it’s because of Him

My current situation, does stem


I am the creator of The Bottomless Heart

I love so much the designs that are a part

Of my life today, to bring joy and smiles

To the lives of loved ones for miles and miles


I am a grandfather of three, 2 girls and a boy

They fill My Heart with so much joy

To hear them laugh and play

This age I wish they could stay


But time will not allow this to be

For they will grow older along with me

As their grandfather straight off the cuff

The Bottomless Heart and other stuff


Will be a foundation for them to build

And to add as they please within the field 

Of family friendly products for all to enjoy

And the many people they will employ


I could go on but here I’ll stop

But I will continue, with clip and crop

As designs and words from here to there

Will come to fruition, I’ll be sure to share
